Captain- Ifowel, of the brig Eliza, which ar rived at 4 o'clock this afternoon, from Lcr horn, via Gibraltar, bean dispatches from Capt. .Decatur, of the Congress, lor our go vernment. It was expected that an imme diate war would take place between the Em peror of Morocco and the United States- There were already two Moorish frigates out cruizing far Americans. The United; .States brig- Syren, capt. Stewart, had taken her station off Gibraltar, and was ordered to cruize between Cape Snartel and Magadore, to intercept any prize that these frigates might make. On the 1 6th May, capt. Howei wai chased and fired at by a Tripolitan Xe beck of 17 guns, but escaped by superior sailing: at this time she was only 8 hours sail from the Congress. The Algerine fleet were out, consisting t the Glory, of 44 guns ; llogium Mustapha, of 44; Ilassam Bashaw brig of It, and a Xcbeckotis; and were cruizing for Neapolitans and Genoese. They treated capt. II. with particular politeness. A Portuguese fleet of two 74's and a frigate were cruuing in the Gut 01 Gibraltar. Eight days ago, off Burmuda, was board rd by a French privateer only 10 days from faisaterre.

W. towards the close of which we fTSd a accession of as heavy squalls as I have experienced for many years. Several times we bore up and acudded be fore the storm ; the boat behaved well, and I pronounce her perfectly safe to cross the AtUntir. , AVhile-tcudding ip the-height of the gale, a sea struck and brought us too, owing to the carelessness ofthemanatthe helm. Our storm square sail was split and blown to toms, and our topsail yard which was lashed on deck, was by the force of the sea, broken into three pieces, we then set the storm fore sail and made very good weather.

The principal 'inhabitants fed front the city on the first alarm, and the troops at length refused to perform the duties of the garrison, and march ed into the country, whither, it is feared, they may have carried the distemper.

Captain M. having teen deprived of all his papers, it became rcquifite, in order to get at the invoices, to cpen he greater part of the. letters. This was to the navy agents, a very dif agrceable duty, but abfolutcly indifpenfa ble; and you may a flu re the parties that every, fcrupulous delicacy was obferved,' that was poilible in fuch a cafe nut a fin gle letter of them was read: the invoi ces ws re taken out of fuch as contained a ny, and the letters indantly feated down. " I was prefenf, at their particular re quell; during the w hole of this unpleafant cenmony, and can with confidence Rate that thefe gentlemen are as ignorant of the contents of them as thofe who, have never feen them. Had the captain been left only a Tingle mamfeft, the opening would have been made leis general, as then it would have been ud neceffary to open any but thofe directed to peifous who had goods configncd to them but that not being the cafe, all thofe which appeared to have enclofurcs, had to be examined. One letter only is retained; that, being written on the back of an in voice, ct-uM not te fcpaiatcd from it. The invoice appears to be from Lacking ton to Judge Johnfon, of articles for the South.l'arolina College. I apprehend that Capt. M- will ituin the letters till he ot himfclf. He will be liberally treated by Capt. Irglcfidd and his agents he could not l ave fallen into better hands." The recept accounts by Americans who have been at St. Domingo concerning the go vernment of the blacks, docs not present so scattering a picture, as might be conceived from a consideration of the principles of their rcetnt constitution. Wa have obtained a copy of their military code, which we mean to translate and publish to-morrow. This code and the constitution lately published, are said to be the productioti of general Men tori formerly a deputy to the national conven tion,aidedby Boitround, Tcmntrt and Chanlatle, all blacks, and who art the draughtsmen of the Kmpcror Desialine's, ptoclamation. The biography of the Hack chiefs, if we can rely uponrtport is a curious evidence of the instability of human sfTVirs and an im portant lesson to tha vanity cf man. The first tmperorif llayti" is represented as be- Ing originally a swieperof the governmental house at the Cape t jen. Chritmpht is said to have been butler to gen. Rochambcau the tlder, during the American revoluiion.-V. Vemetthe minister of the finances was an h'sndicraft man, some say a ta lor and it is stated that none of these chief cff.cers can rtsd or writes and the emperor himself is rt presented as ciy recently enRSged Ingoing over his ah tboh, fcc. under the tuition of his secretary Genum generals Veiion and rard att said to have been silver smiths they are both muUitoea, and command the southern divisions doubts are intrrtained of their fidelity to the imperial rfrimfaiM the same hitred which subsisted wbfi Toua saint and rro". inincnt characters, has not ubWcl between the blacks and tnvdattoci. Tht lluk art the most numerous, but the.mulaltocs ire. the oml ia'.cll' jent and best icsuueud, aid compared with the blacks, are more exempla ry moralists, a quality described to be very rare in the empire.. Contrary to what would , setiii to be dictated bv everv obligation nF , - - - j - . . o ' prudence end policy, the pradual cultivator Hi e saiu 10 uc n caicu whu rcat numaniiy j and among that class we are told from very respectable authority, a very general and se vere1 wish prevails for the return of their an cient roasters, or any masters rather than the" present. . The government of the blacks is not as full of confidence in its security or du ration, as their constitution and rescripts would seem to indicate. Their military code .is rigid and severe and even flushed as they have been by the expulsion ot ttocham beau, and the possession of all the an cient French ports and territory, they pro- ved their want of discipline and courage be fore the walls of the city of St. Domingo ; where their numbers were ten times greater than that of the force by which they were at tacked. Above 2000 Spaniards taken by the blacks from time to time in the neighborhood of St. Domingo city, have been.'sent prison ers to the interior, and have been employed on the plains Artibanite, and the fort'of Champ Machaud, whither the emperor contemplates to retire' in the last resort of an attack by a French army or domestic insurgents. Un der this condition of the island, the certainty ' of any state of things cannot be.long calcula-, ted upon. The absence of the French ar mies, or the confinement of Ferrand's force to the city of St. Domingo, has contributed to revive cultivation for the time ; and the crops " of sugar promise to be considerable ; that of coffee unusually plentiful. Neverthelesa the black government owes to the Americana who have had credulity to trust them, mora ; than three millions of coffee, and have not good faith to pay .'-Aurora. The following article occurs in the con stitution of Hay ti, lately published. -- 14 At the first firing of the alarm gun the cities will disappear and the nation rise.". . The meaning of this language is not very obvious : a friend : has given us an explana tion of it, which he had from a gentlemau who lately arrived here from St. Domingo, and who is well acquainted with the situation of the island. When the enemy appears ofT a Haytian port in such force as seems ade quate to the redaction of the place, an alarm gun is to be fired, and the blacks are instant ly to envelope the city in flames and retreat to the mountains, which to certain places are so fortified by nature and art as to bid defiance to the strongest force. Defended by artillery, numerous and weighty, and sup plied with ammunition calculated to serve i for 18 months, the gentleman considers these interior tortresses impregnable, is of opinion that the negroes can never be subdued, and that any force sent against them would inevi tably perish piecemeal, by the climate and the enemy.
